Global assessment of marine plastic exposure risk for oceanic birds
Clark, Bethany L.; Carneiro, Ana P. B.; Pearmain, Elizabeth J.; Rouyer, Marie-Morgane; Clay, Thomas A.; Cowger, Win; Phillips, Richard A; Manica, AndreaPlastic pollution is distributed patchily around the world's oceans. Likewise, marine organisms that are vulnerable to plastic ingestion or entanglement have uneven distributions. Understanding where wildlife encounters plastic is crucial for targeting research and mitigation. Oceanic seabirds, particularly petrels, frequently ingest plastic, are highly threatened, and cover vast distances during foraging and m...

Spatial scales of marine conservation management for breeding seabirds
Oppel, Steffen; Bolton, Mark; Carneiro, Ana Paula B.; Dias, Maria P.; Green, Jonathan A.; Masello, Juan F.; Phillips, Richard A.; Owen, EllieKnowing the spatial scales at which effective management can be implemented is fundamental for conservation planning. This is especially important for mobile species, which can be exposed to threats across large areas, but the space use requirements of different species can vary to an extent that might render some management approaches inefficient. Here the space use patterns of seabirds were examined to provid...
